The recall is due to reports that high temperatures can allow fuel to leak into the air filter box, posing a fire hazard to consumers.
There have been 12 reports to E-Z-GO of fire involving these gasoline-powered golf cars with no injuries reported by the company.

The model names for the recalled products are TXT, Freedom and Shuttle 2+2. The model names are printed on the sides of the Freedom and Shuttle 2+2 vehicles, and the E-Z-GO logo is on the front of all three vehicles. The recalled vehicles have 9-horsepower engines and serial numbers ranging from 1451059 through 2341739. The serial numbers of early production vehicles are found on plates located on the passenger side dash housing. The serial numbers of late production vehicles are found on plates located on the body below the driver's seat and on the chassis between the seat back supports.
Made in the USA, these golf carts were sold through E-Z-GO and other retailers from January 2002 through August 2005 with an MSRP of between $6,400 and $8,800 each.
Consumers are urged to cease use of the recalled carts and to contact E-Z-GO for a local dealer who will conduct a free repair.
